1. We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
  2. To believe God is love and thus loves you is a miracle wrought by the Holy Spirit.
  3. His love for you is so deep that in his mercy, while you were yet a sinner, God sent his only begotten Son to die for you.
  4. “So loved,” then isn’t about how much but instead simply how.
  5. Love is pointing to Jesus who said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
  6. Christ our Word, as with a two-edged sword, burst the devil's belly.
  7. Morons though we all have been, there is nothing we need that Christ hasn’t given us.
  8. The law had to have its way with the expert to bring him around (and back) to Abraham's response.
  9. As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."
  10. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  11. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  12. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
